Self confidence is all you are lacking, you have self belief because you know you can do the job, but not the confidence to come right out with it immediately. Now you've pressed the button you've taken the first step. Stride in on Monday, wearing an outfit that makes you feel tall and good about yourself, and you will get exactly what you want. Very good luck and best wishesWicked Stepmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965852977253344567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-20302757425268293972010-12-14T22:47:07.801-05:002010-12-14T22:47:07.801-05:00Wow!

I hope you never feel that we won't listen and understand...'cause you know we WILL.<br /><br />It's so easy for hindsight to be 20/20. You <i>know</i> this. It's not easy to screw up the courage to stand up and state (what we know is) the obvious.<br /><br />I'm so glad you did! So?

My husband used to kid me that I couldn't even make up my mind where to sit when we would go somewhere.. and truth be told - we have "changed seats" more times than any one else on the planet... <br /><br />I really like what Jerry said. You have experience, you do a good job, and you need to share your knowledge and experience with the people who can actually ACT on that information to make a better workplace.<br /><br />Your torture probably results in you saying exactly what you want to say, as you probably rewrite and rethink it 75 times before you get it "out there". But, practice makes perfect, OR you just end up with vagueries that no one can follow or figure out what topic you're actually talking about because you leave out the "meat" and get all the "nuances" in there... maybe like this comment. ;-)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892921431345392453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-80711433196073024402010-12-13T08:22:34.630-05:002010-12-13T08:22:34.630-05:00It's always nerve-wracking to put yourself out...It's always nerve-wracking to put yourself out there.

I...OMG torture and self-doubt are like my identity! I waffle on every single decision I make. I wonder if what I'm doing is the right thing or if it's my own selfish motivation. I ask myself if its good for the kids or just good for me. I wonder if I should stand up for myself or instead sit back and allow harmony to exist. <br /><br />I'm so the wrong person to ask!

I'm not a veteran "speak you mind" person, but since I have begun to do so, I find life is so much easier, and there is less drama.
